This is what was going on in your nation's capital over the weekend. Not freedom of speech. Enemies of the State!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkw7n9Qagu8My reply to everyone that got the email:
Do I burn my SOCIAL security card? It has the word social in it. There is also Medicare. And the Socialist party helped workers gain unemployment benefits, workers comp laws, unemployment insurance and more. Enemies of the state? I think not. Enemies of the wealthy perhaps.
And as you point out, it is PROTECTED free speech. What is wrong with taxing the rich at a fair rate as I see mentioned several times in the video? We need more Ike's and fewer Becks etc. in the Republican party. See my sig file below.
Disclaimer: I had several friends at the rally. A few from my union. Many representing most unions. Now I know why Rush hates unions:

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
